Kiva


I just saw a segment on Frontline/World about a micro lending company called Kiva! They have been setting up lenders in the US and applicants in Africa. (has expanded to other developing countries) There is a very high success rate and a perfect repayment record! That's 100%! Sounds very inspiring! I tried to check out their site, but they've been so bombarded since the program aired, that their servers completely pooped out!! I will try back tomorrow and keep you posted. In the mean time, keep checking in:

We are completely humbled by the response that the Frontline documentary has generated. Thank you also for writing about it here! We should have our servers back up by tomorrow. Please do visit again because we have over 350 businesses that are waiting to be partnered up with!

Regard,

Tim (volunteer with Kiva.org)
